vagadminAcne on the face can cause a lot of anxiety and depression, especially for women. If you have acne in the pubic areas or on the vagina, that can affect a woman’s self-esteem. It is often not just about getting rid of the pimples but also finding out what causes them to appear in the pubic areas. The pubis region has many parts from the mons pubis to the perineal body with diverse structures such as hair-bearing skin tissues, sweat glands, and oil glands.
When these change, it can lead to acne bumps which are likely due to hormonal activity during puberty or pregnancy.
What are some tips for women on how to prevent pimples from forming in pubic areas?
Here are some tips:
- Shave pubes with a clean razor instead of waxing/shaving cream. This way, pubes won’t become ingrown hairs since natural ingredients help exfoliate the skin while killing bacteria!
- Avoid shaving against the grain because this causes short pube hair to grow inward and irritate sensitive regions like genitals or anus (causing red bumps, cysts, etc.). Instead, use short strokes when shaving pubes downward.
- Stop using benzoyl peroxide around your genital area because it can cause irritation, leading to more acne! Try salicylic acid instead because it helps reduce inflammation.
- Exfoliate pubes weekly with a natural product like St Ives Apricot Scrub instead of chemical-filled waxing strips or shaving creams (which can irritate pubes and genitals).
- Use pube hair as a treatment for breakouts since the coarse texture will help lift ingrown hairs from skin pores while simultaneously killing bacteria! To do this, pull pubes out by the root using wax strips or shaving cream, then apply natural products like honey, sugar, baking soda, tea tree oil directly onto the pubic area using cotton balls. This is also effective at treating white bumps.
